I attempted to create an entry for a Rhododendron plant, Southgate Azalea (Breeze 'Janet Blair') and got the message that the plant is already in the database here Rhododendron Southgate® Breeze™

Should the series and trademark names be added to the database info?

I found another that I'm wondering about also. Rhododendron Southgate® Radiance™

Is this the same as Southgate Radiance? http://southernlivingplants.co...

Thank you, Lin. Breeze is a trademarked series name, so I added that to the entry. I'll check on Tyler Morris in a minute.

Radiance appears to be another trademarked series name, so that entry has also been edited. Thank you.

Now I see that I have to look into this further. It's possible that Southgate is the series name and the others are trade names. I have a medical appointment this morning, so I'll look into it when I return.
